pm_runtime_suspended() can be false if RPM_SUSPENDED

pm_runtime_suspended() can be false if RPM_SUSPENDED

[Kevin Hilman]

Hi Rafael,

Just curious why pm_runtime_suspended() requires the device to be
enabled for it to return true:

static inline bool pm_runtime_suspended(struct device *dev)
{
	return dev->power.runtime_status == RPM_SUSPENDED
		&& !dev->power.disable_depth;
}

I must be misunderstanding something, but I would consider a device that
has been runtime suspended before runtime PM was disabled to still be
runtime suspended.

I just noticed this when testing with your pm-domains branch.  when I
noticed that an 'if (pm_runtime_suspended(dev))' check in my PM domain's
->suspend_noirq() was always failing since it's after the PM core calls
pm_runtime_disable().  I had to change my PM domain code to only check
dev->power.runtime_status for it to work.

The problem is that while the runtime PM of the device is disabled
(ie. dev->power.disable_depth > 0), its status may be switched from
RPM_SUSPENDED to RPM_ACTIVE on the fly, using pm_runtime_set_active()
(and the other way around) and it doesn't reflect the real status in
principle.  So it was a tough choice what to do about that and I decided
to go with returning false (in many cases runtime PM disabled means the
device is always operational).

Well, at this point I'm kind of cautious about changing pm_runtime_suspended(),
so perhaps we need a separate callback returnig true in the status is
RPM_SUSPENDED regardless of the value of power.disable_depth, like
pm_runtime_status_suspended() or something similar.

The problem is that while the runtime PM of the device is disabled
(ie. dev->power.disable_depth > 0), its status may be switched from

OK, I guess this is the root of the confusion.  Namely, that
dev->power.runtime_status doesn't necessarily reflect the actual device
state.

And with your recent changes (pm_runtime_disable() in suspend path), it
also be very common that

OK, but documentation would probably be needed to describe why you might
use one vs. the other.

However, based on the pm_runtime_set_active() problem you mentioned
above, I'm not sure this will help either, since what the PM domain's
noirq callback will want to do will be based on the actual device
hardware state, not on the PM core's view of the device state.

Yes.  For devices whose runtime PM is never enabled, this is quite clear
(we must assume they are operational).  For devices whose runtime PM is
temporarily disabled and the reenabled, it's not that clear, but at
least for the system suspend case we may require drivers not to use
pm_runtime_set_active/suspended() in their callbacks, so that we may
assume that the status hasn't changed between .suspend() and .resume().

So, I think your approach (to check power.runtime_status) is correct in this
respect.

OK, I'll just directly check power.runtime_status in the noirq methods,
since at that point I always know that disable_depth > 0.

That's what I wanted to say. :-)  The only problem with that is if
CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME is unset, power.runtime_status is not present, so I think
we'll need a static inline to work around that.

No, I don't, please send me one if you can. :-)

pm_runtime_suspended() can be false if RPM_SUSPENDED

[Kevin Hilman]

Hi Rafael,

Just curious why pm_runtime_suspended() requires the device to be
enabled for it to return true:

static inline bool pm_runtime_suspended(struct device *dev)
{
	return dev->power.runtime_status == RPM_SUSPENDED
		&& !dev->power.disable_depth;
}

I must be misunderstanding something, but I would consider a device that
has been runtime suspended before runtime PM was disabled to still be
runtime suspended.

I just noticed this when testing with your pm-domains branch.  when I
noticed that an 'if (pm_runtime_suspended(dev))' check in my PM domain's
->suspend_noirq() was always failing since it's after the PM core calls
pm_runtime_disable().  I had to change my PM domain code to only check
dev->power.runtime_status for it to work.
